Five years ago, Hamilton had lost another beloved dog, Coco, who tragically passed away due to a heart attack.

The F1 driver penned an emotional note as his pet dog Roscoe passed away via an Instagram post, writing:

"After four days on life support, fighting with every bit of strength he had, I had to make the hardest decision of my life and say goodbye to Roscoe. He never stopped fighting, right until the very end. I feel so grateful and honoured to have shared my life with such a beautiful soul, an angel and true friend. Bringing Roscoe into my life was the best decision I ever made, and I will forever cherish the memories we created together."
